Wikipedia says the following about the Referer header:

The word “referrer” has been misspelled in the RFC as well as in most implementations to the point that it has become standard usage and is considered correct terminology.

I'll want to investigate which implementations have "incorrectly correct" spelling to determine whether I should provide a mechanism to query the browser's choice so it can be mimicked.
